HAHAHAHA! Vick has a job offer

[cookinbrak]

Michael Vick has a place on a minor league football team if he can get reinstated by the NFL.

The Albany Firebirds, an arenafootball2 franchise, have offered the 28-year-old quarterback a one-year contract at the league standard: $200 a week plus a $50 bonus for a win.

Vick quarterbacked the Atlanta Falcons for six seasons before being convicted of bankrolling an interstate dog fighting business.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has not said if he will lift Vick's suspension after he completes a 23-month prison sentence. Vick goes from federal prison to home confinement next month.

The Firebirds' contract offer requires that Vick donate $100,000 to a local humane society.

A call to Vick's agent was not immediately returned.

And this has WHAT DA ***..............to do with the Panthers!?!?

Yeah....that's what I thought.

Wow, I know if I was offered a job that pays $200/wk and required a make a 6 figure donation in order to get the job...I'd be all over that.

Luckily for Vick, the shorter field will not impede is ability to shorthop his open receivers in the slightest.

200 bucks a week....100K debt to pay....4 months of games...only needs to play 32 years to pay it off!

Yeah what kind of deal is that? Get $800 a month if you spend $100,000 first. They must be trying to run of those "be an independent business owner" schemes.

And why does it say he has a job offer from an af2 team IF he is reinstated by the NFL? Then what good does the af2 gig do?

Sounds like they were just starving for publicity... dicks...

To be fair, the contract is incentive laden and could pay 250/wk. He could pay off his debt 25% quicker. Vick would be dumb not to take that deal.

Dude who are you? It's not really cool to just come in posting in every thread and flame people.

He's probably Vick's cellmate. But a better rebuttal would be....

Anybody who was a Panther fan before last year has an undying hatred for Vick. And anybody who has ever had a pet has an undying hatred for Vick. So anybody that fits in either category and can appreciate that Vick going from making 12 million a year to getting a job offer making about minimum wage understands.

Preach it. Ron Mexico must die!

Or...not.

The owner of a minor league football team that offered Michael Vick a contract told a newspaper he didn’t know about the publicity stunt and would not have approved it.

"I’m a dog lover and I don’t want anything to do with (Vick)," Albany Firebirds owner Walter Robb told The Times Union for a story posted on its Web site Tuesday night.

Earlier in the day, the team an Arena Football 2 franchise, announced it had offered the 28-year-old quarterback a one-year contract at the league standard: $200 a week plus a $50 bonus for a win.

"That’s a joke," Robb said. "Can you imagine him playing for $200 a week? I think (the offer) was a big mistake."

The announcement was later pulled from the team’s Web site.

Ok, that's said...that's very weird... the were the Albany Firebirds, then were bought and moved to Indiana, and folded... I guess per this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_Firebirds they are now back as of October of 2008 in Albany as an AFL2 team. they were an AFL main franchise. I even have some of the original Merchindise from the Albany Franchise. (I helped with their website back in the day along with the Albany Rivier Rats. The Rats are now the Carolina HUrricans AHL team, and they place in the same place... the Times Union Center in Albany, NY.)

This is weird.

Jangler needs to bring back that last avatar, the rest of this discussion matters 0%.

But in all seriousness, as a bleeder of blue blood, I hate Vick. I hate when we used to play him and they'd have the yellow first down line, the blue line of scrimmage, and the red "Vick line", showing how far back he could run and still break a first down. ESPN is a joke. But he did pay his dues to both society, and his debtors, so I think he should be reinstated by the NFL. I mean, if Pacman, Tank Johnson, Travis Henry, and a whole slew of other clowns are still playing ball, why not Vick?
